Caprice launches Autumn/Winter 26/27 collection

With the Fall/Winter 2026-2027 collection, CAPRICE marks the beginning of a season where refined design, premium materials, and functional innovations merge into a distinctive, expressive aesthetic.

Thoughtfully executed details, balanced lines, and harmonious compositions lend the styles a renewed vibrancy. In doing so, CAPRICE reinforces its commitment to uniting style, comfort, and quality in a signature identity that is unmistakably its own.

Elegant styles receive an urban update and gain noticeable presence in the upcoming Fall/Winter season. The expanded range of knee-high boots – including styles available in width H – reimagines classic shapes with refined, feminine accents.
